A report by The Guardian confirming the latest development stated that all member federations must be free from any legal and political interference from football, but recent comments from the country’s(Tunisia) Youth and Sports Minister, Kamel Deguiche, regarding the dissolution of the federal bureaux – which can also include the football federation – triggered a warning from FIFA.
The governing body(FIFA) believes Deguiche is attempting to meddle in the running of Tunisia’s Football Federation (FTF) and a letter was sent to the FTF about FIFA’s concerns to which they expect a hasty response.
If by any means Tunisia gets suspended, Nigeria who’s highest in rank in Africa to not qualify for the Mundial will be poised to replace them; however, the Azzuri(Italy) is also eyeing the gap after they failed to qualify.
